Sew & Tell Prize!!!

For those of you who have and will be entering the competition before the night is over, there is a pretty great prize in store for you. 

Since you took the challenge to use up your stash or thrifted items, you deserve something new.  Don't you think?

The winner will have their choice at a 1/2 yard fabric bundle from Lily Bella Fabrics!!! 

Christy carries some fabulous fabrics like Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, and Joel Dewberry.  Check her shop out for some great fabrics.  Trust me when I say you will love her.  She is so sweet, so accommodating, so friendly, and mother after my own heart with 4 children all close in age.  Love her already!

Here are the fabric choices the winner will get to choose from (Jealous!  There's so many to choose from):

Make sure to link your craft  before midnight (central time) tonight!!!

Also, make sure you post the "a craft a day" button in the post you make about your craft!!!

Sew and Tell: A fun competition

*I'm scaling this down a bit.

Many of you may be aware that my husband has been out of work for 9 months now. Thankfully, we also own and run a photography business in Milwaukee that is keeping us afloat while we wait for another job. I say all of this because my necessary frugality sparked an idea. It's something I'm calling Sew and Tell.

So, here's the idea behind it. You have one week in which to make an outfit (it can be for yourself, your child, whoever). The goal is to create something that is adorable and yet affordable.

However, there are a couple of guidelines. All of the materials used must be from your stash or from thrifted items. Obviously, you can buy thread. But, no store bought buttons, zippers, etc. Those must come from your stash or the thrift store.

The fun part, there will be a prize! I'm still working out the details of what exactly this will be. If you are interested in being a contributor of one of the prizes, let me know. There will also be a judge that will be selecting one winner. The winner will be announced the following week. However, please let me know if you would like to participate by Jan. 28th.

I will give you further details if there is enough interest.

You can contact me at: frebyrds1@gmail.com
If you have any questions, please just ask.

Once I know if there is enough interest, I will set up the dates.
